Craig's story

Craig's teacher referred him to Place2Be because he was always involved in fights in the playground

"I hated going home because Mum and my step Dad would be arguing"
"It made me really angry and I used to get into a lot of fights"
"My counsellor helped me to calm down"
"I had a special box where I put all the things that made me angry"
Craig has become much calmer and less aggressive
